Abstract

An apparatus with an arrangement for connecting individual fanfolded stacks of prefolded continuous form paper to produce a continuous web to feed to a fast printer characterized by a longitudinally extending transfer plane or table comprising a work region which is adjacent the printer and a supply region spaced from the work region by a transversely extending gap which receives the free edge of the bottom sheet of a stack as the stack is moved across the gap from the supply region to the work region. After movement into the working region, the bottom sheet is in a trailing exposed position that enables connecting to the top sheet of the next following stack by the connecting arrangement.
